Join Cities of Migration for a webinar to discover how two municipally-led programs in Helsinki and Vienna are boosting the local economy by providing the practical tools and services that help new immigrant entrepreneurs turn good ideas into tangible and local successes.

Creating opportunities to start and grow small businesses is important to a city's entrepreneurial culture and a healthy, resilient economy. Immigrants bring talent, energy, a wealth of innovative business ideas and investments to our cities. How is your city supporting new immigrant entrepreneurs?

Participants will learn about Good Ideas:

  • In the City of Vienna, The Vienna Business Agency has set up Mingo Migrant Enterprises which offers new immigrant entrepreneurs smart business advice and support in their own native languages. Presenter: Dr. Gabriele Tatzberger, Department Manager, Mingo
  • The City of Helsinki’s Economic and Planning Centre and Business Development offers EntrepriseHelsinki, a proactive and practical business-counseling service to help new immigrant entrepreneurs launch their ideas with confidence. Presenter: Elie El-Khouri, Project Manager, EnterpriseHelsinki

Technical Requirements: No cost to participate. You will need a computer with internet access and a landline telephone
